HENRI has left the building

He’ll probably do well at the Robins. He’s an expert at birdies.
Shame he couldn’t quite get that move he desired to the Eagles, Crystal Palace.

That time at Forest is like an albatross around his neck

He’s still got a fairway to go before he shakes that off.

He is hoping a move to Bristol will putt that reputation to bed.

Well, the grass always looks green on the other side, but he does need to move on from the rough time he’s had.

Rough time? With the wedge he's been on?

Yep. Without his appearance bonuses, he couldn’t pay his driver. Or afford the rent on his private bunker.

Great! Playing for another bogie team

Fans are over the moon he's going.

"More concerned about his hair than playing"

"Done nothing other than sit and happily collect a wage"

"Good riddance, absolute joke of a footballer that wants to do everything other than play football"

He is the very definition of everything that's wrong about modern footballers.

All about the fame & fortune, nothing to give back to the fans or people who gave him that.

Be interesting to see where his career goes from here.

[bristol tricky]

Good to see the quality is shining through so early into his new club

Talented player but lazy as fuck. McGugan MK2. What a waste of a career. Money is one thing and all but when his Villa contract is up he's done, and he'll look back at his football career and wonder if he tried a bit harder he could have established himself as a PL player.

You’re correct of course, but as he reclines in his mansion, redolent in opulent luxury whilst plotting how to spend his millions, he probably won’t give a flying fuck about that.

Having a mansion and a nice golf swing is one thing, but he could have made a name for himself- maybe gone down in history as the player who netted the winning goal in a cup final or something.

Got a lot of time on his hands now to do sweet fuck all. No chance of him going into management or coaching or punditry.

[RealRed85]

He might just not like football anymore. Seems mad to us as fans, but maybe he was just good at something he’s not bothered about any more?

I’d imagine with the amount of money floating about, there’s loads of footballers who couldn’t care less about football at all and just do it for the wage.

Unfortunately they don’t tell prospective clubs that before some poor mug signs them....

I'm glad that of all our recent centre midfielders, it's a model pro like Ben Watson that actually did manage to score the winning goal in a cup final. Wes Morgan, the Premier League winning captain is another player I was glad to see do well.

Didn't David Bentley give up on football in his 20s because he grew bored with it?

I remember Ian Woan saying he wasn’t interested in football and never watched anything outside of playing for Forest when he was here. Maybe his opinion has changed now he’s a coach. Like RealRed85 says, fans sometimes forget that for footballers it’s their job. Some have a passion for it, others see it as a good way of earning a living. Let’s face it, if you have talent and are prepared to work hard there aren’t many more lucrative professions.

Lansbury’s problem is the high point of his career was at the beginning - coming through as a young player at one of the biggest clubs in Europe and tipped for the top. It’s been downhill ever since.

[Harvey]

Fuck Lansbury.

Didn't shed any tears when he went to Villa. Didn't shed any tears when they realised he was shit, dropped him and eventually got rid. Nor will I be shedding any tears when Brizzle get wise and bin the twat off.
